I split my 1980 911SC engine earlier this year. I have those "casting" marks in my case as well. My machinist said "no big deal". I did find metal in the oil pump sump screen, which was to be expected due to "spinning" the number 3 and 4 rod bearings. However, thay were flakes, not chunks.
Just as an FYI, I've spent 9 months rebuilding my engine. I've also collected a considerable number of specialty tools that were needed. With new JE Pistons and re-plated cylinders and all associated parts, I've spent around $6000.00. I could not be prouder of my work!

Competetion Engineering did my crank.... worth every penny!!!! I learned the hard way to not cut corners.... If you want to hear my sob story... just let me know!
